I don't know.   I was installing on FreeBSD 4.9 and using 
the   openoffice-1.1.0_1.tgz  file.

You are apparently installing on FreeBSD 5.xx, so if you can find
it in ports, ???  I haven't tried it there.    We have some 5.x
machines running here, but I am not using them, nor have we put
openoffice on them.

Anyway, if you have it running happily now, enjoy it.  The rest is silence.
